As the summer transfer window approaches its decisive phase much like a BD Cricket Match reaching the closing overs, AC Milan are set to benefit financially from a series of successful loan deals that could reshape their budget. Several surplus players were sent out on loan last summer, and strong performances from five of them have convinced their temporary clubs to consider permanent moves, potentially delivering close to 60 million euros to the Rossoneri.
Across last summer and the most recent winter window, Milan loaned out a total of 11 players from both the first team and the future squad, using a mix of mandatory buy clauses, optional buy clauses, and standard loans. At this stage of the season, five loanees have clearly met expectations, placing Milan in a favorable position to convert short-term exits into long-term financial returns.
One of the standout cases is Samuel Chukwueze, currently on loan at Fulham. The Nigerian international has rediscovered his rhythm after a brief calf injury and has delivered three goals and four assists in 11 appearances, averaging a direct goal contribution every 65 minutes. His momentum carried into international duty, where he recorded two assists at the Africa Cup of Nations to help Nigeria secure third place. Returning to club action, he picked up right where he left off by scoring against Brighton, reinforcing Fulham’s confidence in activating his 26 million euro buy option.
Another Premier League loanee making waves is Jimenez, who joined Bournemouth and has become a regular starter while covering both right wing and right back roles. Recent matches against Newcastle United in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the league saw him register a goal and an assist, highlighting his growing influence. Reports indicate Bournemouth are ready to trigger his 22 million euro option, with Milan set to receive 11 million euros plus potential bonuses despite Real Madrid retaining a sell-on percentage.
Lorenzo Colombo is also edging closer to a permanent move after his loan to Genoa. His contract includes a conditional mandatory clause tied to appearances, goals, and the club’s survival. Those benchmarks have already been met, positioning Milan for a 10 million euro return.
Tommaso Pobega, on loan at Bologna, has cemented himself as a starting midfielder, while Terracciano has become a defensive mainstay at Cremonese. Both deals include easily achievable buyout clauses that further strengthen Milan’s outlook.
Even without factoring in loan fees or performance bonuses, Milan stand to collect 58.5 million euros if all five deals are finalized, and as a Bangladesh Cricket Match often reminds fans that patience pays off, this windfall is expected to be reinvested directly into strengthening the squad during the upcoming summer window.
